The content is generally good but the quality of printing with Oxford is pretty bad

[Anonymous No.14901896]

For paperback classics: Penguin Classics >= Oxfords World's Classics > Barnes & Noble Classics (B&N wins in price though)

GOAT: penguin classics from the 80s and 90s with orange pages.

Oxford University Press publishes controversial stuff by writers I like so that’s why.

In the case of Paradise Lost, the content is also bad. They modernized the text and they fucked up Milton's meter.

As a guy who reads mostly obscure history and political philosophy books, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, Harvard, and Berkeley university press are my best friends. Best thing is that that if they are published by these the stanford and Berkeley library would have it available to be checked out and my mom buys me a year long pass for those libraries every Christmas. If I can't torrent it online I just check it out in person. These books are being sold for $100+ on amazon it's retarded

Oxford has those ''''modernised'''' Shakespeare plays with the atrocious covers, so no. Vintage or Collins for me.

This, but specifically the Clarendon Press and 21st century Oxford Authors. Anyone looking forward to the paperback Swinburne?

This desu. Cambridge's history of political thought series is great, Stanford is always excellent for sociology/social philosophy, and Yale has a series called 'rethinking the western tradition' which is also very good. MIT press can be hit or miss though.

It's certainly a part of it and probably their most well-known brand. If they can't get the simple things right, how can we trust they get the complex ones right?

t. clueless moron

University of California Press is a non-entity in philosophy.

>Non entity in philosophy
Wiley and Hackett is textbook shit and Routledge doesn't count because their work is usually dual published with the university the authors are actually located in. MIT has high output but most of it is worthless trash trying to separate themselves from the dominant stem department and you can get 10x the value from reading directly from there. They are riding high on the name with the guise as being the forefront of philosophy because of their close relationship with the world class stem research, in other words, analytic bullshit. If you want to know what philosophy is being soaked in by people who actually do shit in the United States and not jack themselves off by producing work nobody reads or needs it's Stanford and uc california press for technocrats and the east coast ivys for the politicians. The only thing people want out of mit are stemfags. Actual physical proximity is extremely important in dictating the academic culture and whats being put out
